First off I have a 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. I want to be able to run 12's on pump gas and still keep it as my daily driver. 12.99 is fine just wanna get into 12's. The car is going to be tuned perfect by someone very experienced. Right now i plan on getting;

The main question is the turbo. i was thinking evo turbo, 16g, 20g, or a 50 trim. Can people post if they run their 20g or 50 trim as a daily driver and tell me how it runs. Gas milage etc... I want to run an external wastegate rrather then internal, the tial 38 is fine right?

Fuel: the walbro 255 pump, safc, and fuel pressure regulator. Do i need a new rail? What size injectors could get me into mid-high 12's with a big 16g. Are 550's big enough, I dont want to max out the injcetors id rather go bigger then just cutting it. How about 660s for a 50 trim, sufficient?

Ill be getting the FMIC, but is 2.5 sufficient or should i go with 3 inch piping? I think 3 is overkill. As for the intake manifold can the stock one handle 12's easily. DO you recommend spending the big bucks and getting the magnus manifold, is it really worth it. Ill get he mbc, have all the gauges to monitor and tune. AS for exahust I plan on porting out a 2g and getting a 3 inch (buschur or apex) dp with a 3 inch thermal exhaust. Sorr about this long post but i was tired of asking little questions here and there i wanna know what im doing from the beginning so i can save time/money. Thanks and the feedback is greatly appreciated.
 
If you car is a 5 speed, you can run 12's with just a few mods. You may want to do some more research if a 12.99 is all you really want. I would personally get a 3" turboback exhaust, mbc, k&n, free mods and a fuel pump. Your clutch might need replaced too but you can run 12's with those mods and a properly maintained car.
 
You wont need a bigger turbo to hit 12's. Just supporting mods.
